Nerlens Noel

Nerlens Noel's ACL tear doesn't change the reality that he has a bright future in the NBA.

So bright, in fact, that he's considered a top-five pick by almost every prognosticator. His shot-blocking talent and mobility are highly valued at the pro level, so he will be given plenty of opportunities to shine no matter where he ends up.

Any of the lottery teams would love to have him, but what would his ideal situation be?

The Orlando Magic need rim protection and explosiveness in the post, so he'd be treasured there.

Kelly Olynyk

In his breakout year for the Gonzaga Bulldogs, British Columbia standout Kelly Olynyk displayed a combination of power and finesse that NBA executives love to see.

A smooth touch from the outside and superb court sense make him an extremely efficient offensive weapon, even if his athleticism is mediocre.

The Portland Trail Blazers, Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks have him on their radars. Dallas would value his size and youth, and a late-lottery selection of Olynyk is a realistic projection.

In addition to leading the conference in those categories, Oladipo was also tops in steals and defensive rating.

Every team would love to have an ultra-athletic impact player like Oladipo, but only one team will be blessed with his services. He's commonly projected to get selected by the New Orleans Hornets, but he might like Minnesota even better.

Anthony Bennett

UNLV's physical specimen Anthony Bennett terrorized the Mountain West in 2012-13 with his rebounding prowess, impressive vertical and offensive versatility.

He's light on his feet, hard to contain on the glass and quite capable away from the basket.

Consequently, he rose from the late first-round to the top five in most mocks.

In New Orleans, the Hornets have a true power forward in Anthony Davis and a "shooting forward" in Ryan Anderson. Adding Bennett's combo-forward talents would be a great match for the prospect and the club.

He could step in and play substantial minutes on an upward-trending franchise.

Ben McLemore

As far as 2013 guards go, Ben McLemore is the surest bet and a can't miss prospect.

He exhibited the capability to lead Kansas offensively, even if he occasionally disappeared. McLemore's NBA-ready jumper opened up driving lanes that he subsequently took advantage of.

The most realistic projections include the Charlotte Bobcats and the Orlando Magic, with the Bobcats being the more ideal landing spot. Why? Because they don't have a No. 2 guard with both size and shooting skills.

Shane Larkin

Miami Hurricanes standout Shane Larkin hasn't declared for the draft yet, which is a reflection that he's a late-first round option at best.

Don't sleep on him, though.

He's shifty, creative and brilliant in the pick-and-roll. Larkin is also particularly efficient, posting just 2.3 turnovers per contest and shooting 41 percent from distance despite a high volume of shots.

He'd be pleased to sneak into the first round on a squad in need of a backup point guard.

After Cleveland grabs him with their second first-round pick, he can back up Kyrie Irving.

Best Landing Spot: Cleveland Cavaliers (with their second first-round pick)

Giannis Adetokunbo

Giannis Adetokunbo's upside on both ends of the floor is scary, especially when you consider his youth and length.

He'll be able to guard multiple positions in the NBA, thrive in the open floor and finish over almost anyone. In addition, Adetokunbo's court awareness is much better than most youngsters with his physical gifts.

His slender frame and inexperience makes him unlikely to be an instant-producer. But that's okay, because he's closely linked to the Boston Celtics and would develop well under the tutelage of Paul Pierce and Jeff Green.

Michael Carter-Williams

After demolishing the competition early in the 2012-13 season, Michael Carter-Williams saw mixed results during the Big East conference slate.

His inconsistent performance against major-conference opponents doesn't change his size, agility and upside. Carter-Williams' floor general talent ceiling is high, but his underachievement basement is low.

The Utah Jazz might be his most likely destination, however he might wilt under the pressure of running their system.

In an ideal world, he would provide size and skill to a team with lower short-term playoff expectations.

Shabazz Muhammad

Shabazz Muhammad isn't quite as NBA-ready as we hoped, and that contributed to his slight downward trend.

His projected landing spot can only fall so far, because he's still an electrifying wing who can slash to the tin or toss it from long range. If his ball-handling improves, especially his right hand, he could be an NBA star.

The Oklahoma City Thunder could snag him using the Toronto Raptors' lottery slot, while the Minnesota Timberwolves and Washington Wizards are other possible destinations.

Washington would provide the best combination of responsibilities and opportunities.

Isaiah Austin

Because he was inconsistent in conference play and Baylor underachieved in the Big 12, Isaiah Austin's projections tumbled during the winter.

He did salvage some pride to close out the season, coming up big in the NIT semifinals and finals. In the title game against Iowa, he scored 15 points, grabbed eight boards, dished four assists and swatted five shots.

Austin's length and versatility are tempting, but his wiry frame is concerning.

He still has a chance to land in the middle of the first round, and he could succeed with the Milwaukee Bucks as a versatile option compared to Ersan Ilyasova or Luc Mbah a Moute.

Glenn Robinson III

Don't expect Glenn Robinson III to be massively productive when he enters the NBA, but if he finds the right team, his swingman skills will develop and eventually flourish.

His jumper and perimeter finesse won't blow anyone away at the next level. Fortunately, his physical gifts and instincts in the open floor will impress. Robinson can finish around the hoop as effectively as anyone in this class.

If Oklahoma City's lottery placement (via the Raptors) is somewhere between No. 7 and No. 10, he would be a sensational pickup.

His role in OKC could be one of simultaneous development and contribution.

Instead, remember that he played a modest 26 minutes per game and still placed second in the ACC in offensive rebounds.

He's not a can't-miss stud or Anthony Davis-type player, but it would be shocking if he fell out of the top 10. Len has too much upside on both sides of the ball for that to happen.

Various mock drafts have him all over the place, so it all depends on how the lottery shakes out. If the Philadelphia 76ers end up somewhere between No. 7 and No. 10, they'll use him to fill their void at center.
